Common questions

What does nerolidol smell like?

Soft woody florals: fresh tree bark with rose and green apple nuances. It is subtle rather than loud.

Why use nerolidol in a blend?

As a heavier sesquiterpene it evaporates slowly, so it extends the life of lighter floral top notes and smooths the dry-down of a profile.
